The Leadership Blog by Ann Vanino

There is a Hopi Indian Prophecy circulating that I believe hold great wisdom for our lives right now.

There is a river flowing very fast. It is so great and so swift, that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open and our heads above the water.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves, for the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

The speed of my life now is mind-boggling. There is no way to keep up with everything I have to do. It takes all that I have to stay centered. How do you maintain balance at the speed of light? I wish I had an answer. I do have some impressions. You have to let go. You cannot manage it all. Setting your priorities helps you navigate. Focus is essential. This is a new paradigm and you have to find a new way of being. Lynn Andrews told me a few years ago that the world would speed up so fast, that we would be forced to find the still point at the center of the storm. There is wisdom there. Be well as you balance at the speed of light.
